Yup, the same High Tech gate and steep starting hill. I think the gate at that race was still manual.
What’s Braddock?
That’s me right under the Scorpion sign in the opne face, looking confused. I made into the magizine at first race…..or something like that…
Was it the 84 or 85 Ironman that was a mudfest in the motos and then dried out for the mains??? I remeber coming out of the last berm and getting off the bike and running it to the finish…
That was my first race. 11 Beg class on my Fuji…..Made the main and took 3rd. That set the hook.
Easy on Ohio B!!!! Oh wait is does suck here….I forgot. Dude, the daily grind at Honda has been getting to me come to think of it…….I could go in as an undercover old school NY/NJ agent…

Mark Z is checking to see if he has any mini’s left over…If not I would be interested.
Thanks
First race was the WWBMXA National at Action Park 81 or 82. It was a Mud-fest. Ran 10 beg on my sweet Fuji Orange Peel with my Go Pro padded denim race pants and some volley ball elbow pads. Made the main and took 3rd. Second race was at Englishtown and got beat by Mark Zelewski….all was going great until my third race at Oakland with my new Hannah Pro full face helmet (to replace the open face motorcyle lid) crashed hard and scratched up the new skid lid…….1st win came later that year at E town on my new GT…came close before that at that Island Dragway track….
I just got my daughter an Old School GT junior to build up. Needs a stem and bars, but has red Dura ace cranks and a red Bullseye BB.
I was down there early this afternoon and saw Farside and Wog tearing up their 2nd Motos… not sure where they ended up.
The pro section looked pretty crazy, only one Elite rider in each moto could clear the berm jump!

Yea I ran the Armory, with my Home Brew slicks…actuall was first in points for for my class (14 and 15x I think) for 2 years (83 – 84) and was second overall in points in 83. Rode for SMB in 83 and TNT in 84. Nothing like dumping it at the Armory and melting your race paints on the floor. Ghetto but good times…..
George,
Just playing, if memory serves me, you, Gibby, Mark Z all mixed it up equally. And after watching your brother he was clearly in another league. and Yes my gates were a little on the sketchy side, but when your trying to get a 46/16 moving it takes some time……
Keep the Gibby stories coming
Glad your on the site
George vs. John
Hard to say I never saw George race, because I was so far ahead of him 😆
He did crash into me once at the Armory while I was stopped to pick up my trophy…..he was going pretty fast then!!!
The grudge matches are growing:
Wog vs. Craig: Already done
George vs. John: TBD
Bring me Gibby….Kmart
miken1973,
Tell George and John S Ken Martin said hi, and get them to log on. It would be good to hear from them….
Did George S go pro or was it his younger brother John???
